2 lights for night biking

Most have 2 lights, with a bright light on their bars and a not so bright light on their heads.
I normally ride with the brighter light on my head, so I can see where I want to go rather than where the bike is currently going....

Brighter light on the bars. SMaller light on the head. THis is so the light on the head doesn't over power the light on the bars, so you still see shadows. yet when you turn your head you still have light to see roudn the corner

2 lights. 1 on the bar which is set on low. Will last longer on fire roads etc. head torch on low for something a little more technical and then full blast on the technical stuff. I have been out with just one on the head but two is added security

2 lights - one head and one bar. Brightest light on bars for depth perception, less bright light on head for seeing round corners.

Currently using an Exposure Strada (yes I know it's a road light but it just works!) and Diablo headlamp; rarely use the Diablo on more than medium though as it just seems to "blow out" detail on full.

2 also gives a bit of a safety margin and you can manage them to give longer burn time. That said, not had probs with Exposures but I have had a few older lights that run flat unexpectedly or have been damaged by (ahem!) impacts or water getting in there.

And trust me, you don't want to be at the bottom of Deliverance with some broken lumicycles and a micro headtorch.

I'd been using an Exposure setup (Joystick/helmet and Toro/bars); worked fine on natural trails. But since I've lived in the Borders I've needed more/wider lights for GT/Inners. So have added a cheap Magicshine 800 to the bars also.

Good fun.

And single light..., you'd be well bolloxed if it fails/breaks around here.
